The Five Points Brewing Company launches ‘tropical’ pale ale Jupa

London-based The Five Points Brewing Company has released Jupa, the first beer added to its permanent range in two years.

The pale ale is brewed with US hops for bold, tropical fruit flavours, as well as wheat and oats for a full body.

Five Points said the beer “bursts with tropical and citrus fruit notes to provide a refreshing first gulp that finishes with a mildly bitter kick”.

Available in a 330ml coral-coloured cans with a recommended retail price of £2.60, the 5.5% ABV Jupa will find its place in Five Points’ core range of beers which also includes its flagship Five Points Pale at 4.4% and Five Points IPA at 7.1%.

Ed Mason, co-founder and managing director of The Five Points Brewing Company, said: “With Jupa we wanted to push the envelope of the pale ale and put our own signature on it. We played with all sorts of hop varieties and brewing techniques and ended up with a profile and flavour that’s truly unique.”

To celebrate the launch, Five Points will host a series of events and tap takeovers in the coming weeks in key cities across the UK such as London, Manchester, Brighton and Liverpool.

The Five Points Brewing Company was founded in 2013 and its portfolio of beers are unfiltered and unpasteurised to create a better flavour and aroma.
